Just received the 12-24, exactly as described, great condition - initial impressions of the lens are very positive too, way better than the sigma 10-20 I owned previously

Cheers Geoff !!

Thanks for the comments, although not sure about the sarcy one

Having just recieved the Samsung 12-24 I bought off the forum any thoughts on a 20mm lens have disappeared - I can't imagine anything much sharper than the 12-24 anyway, very impressed !!

FA 20mm F2.8 - I wondered if anyone had used one - interested to know how it compares to the 21mm pancake?

thanks

Only having had a quick glance at the specs, for my use (landscapes) I don't see much to tempt me from the K20D which I'm very happy with - improved Live View would be useful for tripod mounted shots but I don't see much else?? My thoughts are pretty much the same for the K-7 too, only the smaller/lighter body seems appealing.

At least not being tempted by new bodies leaves me free to spend cash on lenses !!

I like the range, I'm currently very happy with my DA 17-70 but having just bought the DA 12-24 I might well be tempted as the wide end (17mm vs 18mm) isn't quite so critical for me now.

It will be interesting to see if it's IQ can match the DA 17-70 though as I'm not prepared to take a backward step for increased focal range - I'd probably go with the Tamron/Pentax 18-250 if this was the case. The price would need to come down a fair bit too.

After checking these at work and printing them off I've realised that the processing was way off, someone who remains blameless (ok - the wife) has changed the monitor settings - here are the newly edited shots...

I like the first one. I think having the extra buildings, the lines of lights and rails leads you into the picture. The second one looks too cropped in comparision. Was it not possible to center the tram cars?

Thanks for the feedback Barry, completely agree with you - the only way of getting the tram cars in the centre would have been via a bit of "breaking and entering" into the entrance kiosk at the top, I like my photography but don't really fancy being arrested for it
